About the Program
Pierce County's One Percent for the Arts ordinance directs publicly-funded construction projects, with costs exceeding $100,000, to allocate one percent of the project budget for public art.
This program supports our mission to increase access to the arts for all Pierce County residents through a lasting legacy of publicly held artwork located in county-owned or county-leased facilities.

The Pierce County rotating artwork collection is installed in public spaces throughout Pierce County buildings. The art collection, part of the 1% for the Arts Program administered by the Pierce County Economic Development Department, provides cultural enrichment to Pierce County residents.
